Es war gutes Essen, man konnte etwas italienisches Flair geniessen. Wir hatten Pasta, die war sehr gut. Der Service hat uns leider enttäuscht... während den 2 Stunden wo wir dort waren, hatten wir 7 verschiedene Kellner. Unser Tisch ging oft vergessen, obwohl das Servicepersonal immer an uns vorbei lief. Preis-Leistung war gut.

Pictures don't do it justice! Their tomato sauce is incredible - fresh, authentic flavour. Both our pastas were great. (Penne arrabista & house lasagna) great wine too! (villa maria blanc) They had live music while we were there & music after was great. Didn't care for the bruschetta but that's ok!

Pretty good restaurant but needs to wait for some time to get the table. Steaks are good, pasta is just okay, & I don't think dessert is worth it.

We went to Portofino in the evening for dinner. The owner/manager was very courteous & quickly arranged a table for us on the outside patio. However, due to the windy weather & a thunderstorm warning, he promptly moved us inside & gave us a good table. Despite not having a reservation, the staff & the owner were very kind. About the food: I have never had such amazing pesto pasta! We also ordered arrabbiata pasta, which was good. The fries were on point, & although the pizza was a bit soggy, it tasted good. Must try their pastas-they're great!

It was one of the best pesto pasta I ever had full of flavor. Prices are high, though they justify the good food.
